Len probably needs to leave. He is not getting any younger, and the travel back and forth from London to LA is long and tiring. I just hope his replacement isn’t Maks. Maks is too close to other pro dancers besides the obvious of having his brother and wife as one. His “because I can” comment he made when he judged Val and his partner high and others lower, proves his bias.

I can understand Len wanting to retire but he will be tough to replace. I’m pretty sure Maks won’t be replacing him for several reasons. I don’t know why but I feel like Julianne won’t comeback.

Shirley is a good option if she is willing to travel back and forth between London and US on the fall season. Otherwise Kym could be a great option or Tony, yes he’s close to the fam but I do think he will be more fair overall than Maks and he has more credibility in my eyes.

Me personally, I don’t see Julianne replacing Len. After skipping out on this short season, I’m kinda wondering if she’d judge again or if she’s moved on for good from the show….🤔

I, actually, wouldn’t mind seeing Tony as a judge-I’ve always wondered how he’d be in terms of critique and fairness, especially in light of the fact that he is connected to the C-Bros….

I’d love to see Shirley Ballas as a judge for the American version!! Could it be done though now that she judge for SCD? 🤔

I kinda feel bad for Len-on the one hand it sounds like he’s getting pushed out LOL But on the other hand it sounds like he’s ready to go:/

I just hope whoever replaces him is NOT MAKS!! Why do I get the feeling, after that last interview he did where he talked about the show, he’s just WAITING for Len to retire so he could take his place? The way Maks talked, one might assume that the producers might’ve spoken to him about it already? I wouldn’t be surprised….😒

Maks has no credibility as a permanent judge on DWTS. As a pro I wouldn’t respect some of his critics because he has proved to be biased in the past or hypocrite. How Maks gonne critic anyone about content or “mucking about” as Len would say when he put that in nearly every dance he made since s23.

Tony, Cheryl, Kym or a judge from another version of the show would make much more sense. I’ll even take Louis before Maks because I think he would be at least fair. We do have Jean Marc Généreux in France that could be great but his personality is too similar to Bruno so it would be a bit too much to handle I think.

Louis is only “fair” if Derek or Julianne aren’t involved. Too much of Louis’ commentary is rooted in his own bitterness that he’s no longer on the show. That’s not what I would call “fair”. At all. But yes, Maks would likely be worse because, unlike Julianne who goes out of her way to be harder on those she loves sometimes, Maks has no such inclination.

Louis made horrible comments about Lindsay a couple of seasons ago. I think it was about one of her dances with Calvin? A big NO to Maks or Louis. I’d love for Shirley Ballas, Kym or Cheryl to take the judge spot.

I think Shirley is the perfect and logical replacement if Len does leave, I have always thought she would be a excellent judge. She took his spot on the British show and that worked well. Since there seems little chance that Mark or Derek will compete (if they did-she would be completely fair) they can’t cry foul. I enjoy Len more than the other 2, but if he does leave, Shirley is the best choice.
